Chapter 308 You will understand that I am more qualified than you
Piao Tian Literature In the Jiaotai Hall, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu were sitting face to face. Both of them had a cup of fragrant tea placed in front of them. In the Jiaotai Hall, the sandalwood was faint, mixed with the faint green smoke.
The pale white water vapor floating in the tea cup exudes a refreshing fragrance.
The silk curtains hanging down in the hall swayed gently and softly with the cold wind that invaded the hall, just like the water sleeves of a woman who sang and danced softly and hung down when she finished dancing.
The two of them just sat facing each other, looking at each other. Zhu Qiyu deliberately and diligently straightened his back, making his sitting posture appear more proud and more reserved.
Zhu Qizhen, who was wearing heavy armor, had taken off his helmet at this moment, and his hair was just tied up with a piece of bright yellow silk ribbon. He seemed to be sitting casually, but the strong self-confidence naturally flowing out of him,
And his eyes were clearly not looking at his opponent, but at a naughty and sad little guy. It made Zhu Qiyu feel even more uncomfortable. In other words, Zhu Qizhen's gaze was more intense than the red-hot one.
The needle would prick him even more.
"I don't know, now, should I call you His Majesty the Emperor, or His Majesty the Emperor?" Zhu Qiyu's hoarse and dry voice revealed sharp hatred and resentment.
"Qi Yu, you still refuse to call me brother?" Zhu Qizhen looked at the younger brother in front of him who used hatred and pride to cover up his cowardice and fear. He couldn't help but feel helpless, even pitiful. Of course, Zhu Qizhen
Naturally, Qi Zhen would not say that he changed his original intention because of his pity, nor would he change his treatment of him because of this.
"I remember that in the past, except in front of others, when we were only brothers, I always asked you to call me brother, right?" Zhu Qizhen stroked his brow. These were all things he had never done before.
That news came from Qian Niang’s mouth. And in the past, the elder brother Zhu Qizhen could almost be described as brotherly love for his younger brother Zhu Qiyu. Unlike many families in later generations, brothers and sisters were extraneous to each other.
There is no harmony. The relationship between them is even like that of enemies.
In the past, Zhu Qizhen always had a share of whatever was available in the palace. During every festival, Zhu Qizhen would hold a family banquet to invite Zhu Qiyu, or he would go to the Prince's Mansion incognito to visit his younger brother.
.
In the Ming Dynasty, once the vassal king reached old age, he had to leave the capital and go to his own fiefdom. Then he had to stay on that territory for the rest of his life, and he could not even leave the city.
But Zhu Qiyu was an exception. When he came of age, many ministers also proposed early that Zhu Qiyu should go to the fiefdom and stay there quietly, but Zhu Qizhen always felt that his younger brother still needed his own protection. In short.
In the end, it was still not allowed, and his younger brother Zhu Qiyu was allowed to stay in the capital and live in the palace of Prince Na. Until he left the capital and led his army to compete with Wac, he even left the burden of supervising the country to him.
killed his younger brother.

All this made Zhu Qizhen, who had traveled through this historical time and space, have to lament how heavy his predecessor's feelings for his younger brother and that kind of trust were.
However, Zhu Qiyu, the younger brother who was cared for by his elder brother Zhu Qizhen, completely forgot the past, the brotherhood, and Zhu Qizhen's love for him from the moment he became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Trust. Even in history, he locked his own brother in the Nangong Palace. The door was locked with copper sweat, and even the eunuchs who got a little closer to the imprisoned brother were executed.
With such a method, I am afraid that Zhu Qizhen in that historical time and space might also stare wide-eyed in Nangong and want to ask in person why his good brother treated him like this?
But now, the Zhu Qizhen of the past is no longer here, or his soul continues to shuttle on another historical branch, repeating the sadness and suffering of the past. But here, in front of Zhu Qizhen, everything has already
Changes have occurred.
It can be said that Zhu Qizhen made full use of his knowledge of the direction of history and everything that was going to happen, and made preparations and arrangements first. Because of this, it can be said that Zhu Qiyu followed the trend of history from the beginning.
do whatever you do.
And this happened to fall into Zhu Qizhen's trap. Zhu Qizhen was like a chess player who already knew the opponent's chess moves. Step by step, he led Zhu Qiyu into a blind corner, letting Zhu Qizhen lead him into a blind corner step by step.
He became a complete loser.
However, things can be said the other way round. If Zhu Qiyu had not forgotten his brotherhood and Zhu Qizhen, his brother who really loved him, then he would not be able to do those things and would not be able to do them.
It's like a common saying: If you do evil by God, you can still live; if you do evil by yourself, you can't live.
"Brother..." Zhu Qiyu gently chewed on this title that seemed so familiar in the past but is now extremely unfamiliar. The bitterness in his mouth could not be relieved even by sipping the tea that made his mouth and tongue fragrant.
Zhu Qiyu raised his head, stared at Zhu Qizhen, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Brother, why are you coming back? Why don't you stay in Xuanfu Bianzhen properly when you are back? Why are you still there?"
If you want to return to the capital, why are you still sitting in front of me?!"
Seeing Zhu Qiyu's vent-like roar, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but curl his lips: "Hahaha... Qi Yu, Qi Yu, you should ask yourself these questions, not me."
"Brother, I have never been sorry to you, but as for you, I can forgive you once, but you keep making mistakes. You are no longer the Zhu Qiyu you used to be. You have changed. Since you stepped onto the throne
From that moment on, you have forgotten me as your brother, your mother, your father's teachings... you have even forgotten your own true intentions."
Zhu Qiyu heard Zhu Qizhen's laughter and became even more angry: "Do you think I can't be the emperor of Ming Dynasty? If it weren't for you, how could I be like this?"
After Zhu Qiyu roared, he panted and looked at Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting peacefully, silent and smiling, and couldn't help but feel dumb for a while, then sat down with a wry smile. "Yes. Now, I say
No matter how much you get, what’s the use?”
Outside the Jiaotai Hall, Concubine Hang, who looked haggard, hugged Zhu Jianji tightly. She looked worriedly at Zhu Qiyu, who stood up and danced with his hands in the hall, seemingly extremely excited. She wanted to move towards that person.
As she walked towards the Jiaotai Palace, she was stopped by a eunuch. Concubine Hang raised her eyebrows and saw the eunuch's face. The scolding she almost blurted out was swallowed back in her throat.
Because the person standing in front of him was none other than the empress dowager's confidant eunuch Li Fuzhong, who said quietly in his sharp voice: "Your Majesty has decreed that no one is allowed to approach the Jiaotai Hall for fifty steps, so
, please forgive me for being rude and blocking me."
After hearing this and seeing the gloomy eyes on his humble smiling face, Concubine Hang couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She hugged her son tightly and carefully stepped back a few steps.
Li Fuzhong ignored Concubine Hang and continued to look around the Jiaotai Palace. He followed the Queen Mother Sun's order and took over Zhu Qizhen's chariot with Sun Jizong. He could see Zhu Qizhen regaining control of the Ming Dynasty.
For these old people who have been with the Queen Mother for a long time, they are naturally very excited and lucky.
Zhu Qizhen's actions in the past two years have made it clear to these eunuchs that the current emperor has indeed grown up and matured, and is no longer like the eunuch who followed Wang Zhen's advice in the past.
The little emperor.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Zhu Qiyu, took a deep breath, and tapped his hand gently on the table. His voice was still so steady and powerful: "Brother, my past thoughts may be the same as yours. No matter you are
. Or me, whoever becomes the emperor of the Ming Dynasty or the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is the same, because at that time, history will not change, and will follow an old path, slowly go on, until
The day it collapsed, or in other words, the future of Ming Dynasty, was already doomed, and it is not something that you, or me in the past, can understand or change."
"What do you mean? Brother, do you understand now that you have become a wise king? Or that your great achievements will go far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties, surpassing Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong?"
Zhu Qiyu heard what he said and couldn't help but sneered and asked: "What a joke, brother, I failed. I was defeated in your hands. As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the spy. I was defeated in your hands.
I have nothing to say, but why do you use such words to tease me?"
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help laughing when he saw the sarcastic look on Zhu Qiyu's face. In response to Zhu Qiyu's accusations and questions, Zhu Qizhen directly replied: "Yes, I understand, because I have figured it out and want to understand."
Already."
"Did you know? This is the last dynasty and empire established by the Chinese nation. This is also the last glorious moment for the Chinese nation to stand at the top of the world. This is the last chance for the Chinese nation..."
"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand a word of it?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but frowned and looked at his brother who was talking nonsense with confusion. What kind of world and what kind of final glory of the Chinese nation? This is all
What is it?
"You don't understand because you haven't experienced it, or you haven't seen the suffering." Zhu Qizhen raised his head, looked at Zhu Qiyu, smiled, and moved his gaze outside the Jiaotai Hall.
"If you have ever had that kind of experience, or seen those sufferings that are like reincarnation in hell, you may understand why I did all these things in just two days, and then stood here
In front of you."
Zhu Qiyu looked at the seriousness in his brother's eyes that he had never seen before, as well as his unprecedented seriousness and sincerity. Zhu Qiyu didn't know how to deal with it for a moment. After a while, Zhu Qiyu finally
He said unwillingly: "Everyone will say that. Who knows what you will do in the future. I have also read history. Which dynasty can escape such reincarnation? I don't believe what tricks you can do.
."
Zhu Qizhen raised his eyes and looked at the sunlight coming in from the entrance of the palace. It was already approaching dusk. Zhu Qizhen stood up. "You will see that I will not kill you or hurt you."
Nephew, I will continue to let you stay in your palace of Prince Xi. Let you watch, and one day you will understand that I am more qualified than you to sit in this position and be the emperor of the Ming Empire..."
